3 Basket Quilt Patterns + Fall Fabrics + Prize Incentive from Pat Sloan =
Hybrid Happiness!
Pat Sloan is hosting a sew along using her Baby Baskets pattern or one from her Novelties book. You can find out more about it here.
I'm planning to use her baskets and make 6 of them - one in each of these colours. The autumn floral is one of my favourite 'neutral' backgrounds.
Basket of Whimsey from Barbara Brandeburg's book, "Meadow Rose". |
I took a photo of these prints that I plan to use to make a floating border like in Barbara's quilt.
I think my colour choices fit into the "Indiana Amish" palette that Roberta Horton describes in her book, "An Amish Adventure: A Workbook for Color in Quilts". {second edition} It's the addition of orange, yellow and yellow-green, plus tan and brown into the more 'traditional' Amish quilt colours of using the section of the colour wheel from red to green with black as the neutral.

I just polished off a piece of leftover Thanksgiving Cherry Pie and am set to fuse my baskets before my daughter gets home from school!
With Joy,
